Week 15 at the Pole

Now there’s a sight! A funneled view on the IceCube Lab at sunset from the edge of a shapely sastrugi in the left foreground. Last week was busy with continued freeze-in operations for Upgrade equipment among other tasks. IceCube winterover Camille found more reasons to employ her artistic touch, this time on some panels that will eventually cover the windows at the station when darkness descends to limit light pollution. Perhaps a theme is emerging, of painting what’s missing.

Two vertical paintings on cardboard panels of Parisian scenes with macarons on “pedestals” positioned so as to appear part of paintings.
